"Allah will guide you along the way." [Quotes & Gems]

~*~*~*~

Every person has the ability to stand up and make a change, but there's a prerequisite. And that is, that they must first change what is in THEMSELVES before they can go out there and change the world.

Take that first step in doing good, and Allah will guide you along the way.
